We had a wonderful time here. Loved the traditional Scottish breakfast. And it's was a quick bus ride into town..which the bus stop was right across the street.
Just Fantastic for the money!
The friendliness and service from the staff and owner was brilliant!
Incredible breakfast too!
Leith shore within walking distance and everything else easily accessible by bus or tram!

The staff at the hotel are great, friendly, welcoming and informative about local matters.
The room was OK but very dated and in need of decoration and a few minor repairs. Some additional cleaning and dusting of less obvious surfaces, such as exposed pipes in bathroom, skirting boards, radiators etc is needed to give the feel of attention to detail. Everything was functional but generally tired.
Centre of Edinburgh is a 20min bus journey that runs till late and Leith is 15/20 min walk.
Such a lovely place to stay for a weekend stay in the city. The daily breakfast was a huge plus and was made to your liking. The room was nice and quaint with a comfortable bed. Highly recommend when in the city even if a little off the path from the touristy areas
A lovely place to relax. The area itself didn’t seem to have many restaurants but I found some easily within a 20 min walking distance. Very friendly staff and a delicious breakfast.
David and staff are outstanding hosts! The rooms are clean and comfortable, and breakfast tasty and offers good choice. We walked to downtown along a quiet path next to a creek, and found great restaurants 20 minutes away. We highly recommend A Haven!
David was an excellent host, location was convenient with buses readily available to the centre of the old town. Great breakfast, nothing to complain about.

The staff was really nice and friendly. The room was a bit small, and the window is not soundproof so it felt like I was outside on the steeet at times. it took ages for hot water to come out in the shower, but the bed and blanket were really comfortable. Had a great night of sleep. And I enjoyed their Scottish breakfast.
Enjoyed our stay, is an older property but well taken care of, a reminder of a similar older property we visited in Montreal. Very friendly and helpful owner. A little ways away from the Old Town but had a bus stop only a minute away to get you right down to Princes Street.
